Up until now, the Grand Duke’s medicine had been made using the herbs Aeryl had brought along just in case. While preparing to move north, Aeryl had gathered a separate bundle of herbs specifically effective on pheromones, intending to use them himself. When packing, he had tossed that bundle in on a whim—fortunately so. But now, after making a few doses of the Grand Duke’s medicine, his supply had quickly run dry. ‘Good thing I took the time to scout the area in advance.’ He’d worried…- 279.4 K • Completed
- “Yes. I’m only now getting the chance to greet you. I waited because I heard you would call for me, but you never did.” “I’ve called for you several times. If you didn’t respond, that’s on you.” “That’s what I’m saying. You did call—but I never heard about it. You sent Fedel to call me, didn’t you? I have something to say about that.” Aeryl waited for Kyla’s response as he observed her. It had been a simple explanation, but her brows furrowed as if she understood the…

- At any other time, Aeryl would have avoided him, or the Grand Duke would have ignored him, but this time was different. Aeryl raised his left arm and tapped his wristwatch with the index finger of his right hand. ‘Don’t overdo it and come back soon.’ Only the knights were going today, so Aeryl couldn’t go with them. He was worried and wanted him to return earlier than usual. The Grand Duke silently watched him for a moment, then turned his head. ‘Looks like he’s not going to…

- “No, not at all.” His expression and words both said no, but his pheromones were trembling faintly. “Your pheromones say otherwise.” “Hmm. I don’t know.” “Try to focus. You have to be able to feel your own pheromones to control them. Think of it like peering into your own mind.” The Grand Duke concentrated deeply but soon shook his head.“I can’t feel anything at all.” “You’ll get there eventually. It takes practice.” Since the medicine was working well,…

- “He discriminates against people? How could a doctor possibly do that?” All the military doctors in the subjugation unit were among the most skilled in the Grand Duke’s territory. Even without participating in the subjugation efforts, their reputations were already well established. Yet they joined the grueling campaign every year because of their strong desire to help others. For people like that, the idea of treating patients differently based on personal bias was utterly…

- Because he’d always perceived Aeryl as a man with tousled hair like a dandelion puff and oversized glasses, seeing him like this was a shock. If an omega with a face like that had been out in the world, society wouldn’t have left him alone—yet he was working as a physician. Truly, he was an intriguing person in every sense. ‘I’ll have to look into him more.’ The Grand Duke let go of the hand he was holding. At that, Aeryl quickly turned his head and looked at him. “You’re…

- Aeryl wasn’t even from the North—he was a Southerner. Though they shared a common imperial language across the Empire, the people were ethnically and linguistically different. Naturally, regional bias was unavoidable. It was well-known that the people of the Grand Duchy were closed off toward outsiders and tightly bonded among themselves. Aeryl had already experienced this firsthand when he opened a clinic in the Edge of the World Village. Still, he had hoped things might be different this…

- The result was much cleaner than Mason had expected, and there was little bleeding. “Administering antidote. Fedel, give me the antidote.” Without lifting his gaze from the wound, Aeryl extended his hand. Fedel’s face twisted in displeasure. Being ordered around by Aeryl was extremely irritating. But as a medic, he couldn’t defy the military physician’s command—especially not with so many eyes on them. Gritting his teeth in humiliation, Fedel handed over the antidote. “Brace…

- He thought about giving it a try, but the Grand Duke was far out of reach. Perhaps sensing Aeryl’s intense gaze, the Grand Duke suddenly turned to look at him. His sunken eyes paused on Aeryl for a moment, then moved on. “We move.” The Grand Duke spoke, and moments later, the sharp sound of a horn pierced the air. Aeryl tensed and began walking. He was about to step into that dreadful forest of his own accord. The very sight of it made his vision swim, but the formidable presence radiating…

- If he had arrived at night and seen them for the first time, he might have mistaken them for something out of a fairy tale—like the trees had turned into wicked witches. No—maybe it was the other way around. Perhaps creatures like that were invented because of trees like these. Beyond the wooden fence, it was dark. The depth of the shadows between the trees was impossible to gauge. A chilly feeling crept through him, making his stomach churn. ‘What is this… feeling?’ Aeryl licked his dry…
